@OleTimeHardball In the modern game, no one will ever have the batting average necessary for a long enough time to get anywhere close. Might as well put it with Cy Young’s wins and the .400 season as untouchable.

@MikeGrunwald Now tell me about whether that referendum remains valid after the recent Supreme Court case.
English
I'm not a legal expert, maybe VA's redistricting case was complicated, but FL's case isn't: Voters passed a referendum that said no partisan redistricting, DeSantis and the Legislature said fuck you we're doing it anyway, & nobody thinks the all-Republican court will stop them.
English
@Logically_JC Yeah, that’s how the branches of government work.
English
1.6 million voters approved the redistricting in Virginia.
4 judges denied them.
English
@envisionedluna Nah, you just have to follow your state’s laws and constitutions. Not that difficult.
English
Basically if you are a Liberal you must strictly abide by the rule of law at all times and be cordial and never lie and be 100% moral and have a squeaky clean record and if you're a conservative you can do whatever the fuck you want whenever you want and nothing matters

🚨BREAKING: In a 4-3 ruling, the Virginia Supreme Court has OVERTURNED the redistricting referendum approved by voters last month that could have netted Democrats 5 additional House seats. The court ruled the General Assembly violated the Virginia Constitution in advancing the amendment, nullifying the referendum entirely.

@doggintrump Read the different states laws and constitutions and you’ll know. Or just shout on here in ignorance, whichever.

So how the fuck can red states just takeaway the people's voices without a vote but then Virginia, who allowed people to vote, is being challenged?

BREAKING — Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed the new 9-0 congressional map into law. 🔴 +1 GOP 🔵 -1 DEM

@WajahatAli Laws and constitutions…it’s a lot of reading though, you probably won’t do it.
English
Spanberger should pull a DeSantis and ram through the map.
If Republicans can do it - and without the public vote - why not the rest of us?

@micah_erfan “I don’t understand how constitutions and laws work.” FIFU

6 Republican states brutally gerrymander without a vote. 100% legal.
1 Democratic state fights back with the consent of the people. Illegal.
Democrats are always held to an infinitely higher standard than Republicans.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court of Virginia has struck down new congressional map that Virginia voters passed last month.

@sam_d_1995 @Itsjoeco Oh so you didn’t want a real answer. Read the cases, read the constitutions. The answers are right there for you, but you don’t want them.
English
can someone explain to me how when Virginia voters passed a constitutional amendment, the courts said no
meanwhile Florida republican legislators completely ignored a voter-passed constitutional amendment prohibiting gerrymandering and that’s totally fine?
Taniel@Taniel
Virginia's supreme court overturns the April 21 referendum, and keeps Virginia's status-quo map in place. The new map had shifted four seats Dems' way. (Two of the 4 will remain competitive for Dems this fall, tho 2 of them will not.) nytimes.com/2026/05/08/us/…
English
@Fritschner Notably you stop there. They answer why, because the Dems insisted they couldn’t review it before the election.
English
An actual passage in the majority opinion:
“It is fair to ask whether we could have or should have reviewed the constitutionality of the proposed amendment prior to it being presented to the voters. But it is not a question the Commonwealth should ask.”

@byelin All I hear is more reasons the correct team won.
English
I get why Republicans are giddy about this ruling. I would be too if I were them.
But don't act like you have any principles here. You won on a technicality. It's like a baseball team winning because the runner started tagging on a fly ball a split second before it was caught.
English
@igorbobic What a dummy, the Dems are demanded the court wait to decide.

Tim Kaine on VA Supreme court: "The timing of this ruling speaks volumes":
"If the Virginia Supreme Court had legitimate concerns about this referendum, the time to stop it would have been before three million Virginians cast their ballots."
English
Republicans: Pass new maps in Tennessee, Florida, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas ALL without a vote — upheld
Democrats: Pass new maps in Virginia with a vote from the will of the people — overturned
Make it make sense.
English
@RepJeffries There are rules about the will of the voters can be gathered. Sorry you guys violated them.

The decision by the Virginia Supreme Court to overturn the will of more than three million voters will not stand.

@magicpanda_703 If you think Alito is the activist here, you don’t understand our constitution at all.

Justice Samuel Alito reminds Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson that SCOTUS exists to interpret the law, not to act as an activist court.

@Angry_Staffer Just say you don’t understand, it’s easier.
English
Based on this Virginia ruling, the Tennessee and Florida maps should both also be shot down.
If not, Virginia should just pull a Tennessee and change the rules to ram it though the legislature. 🤷♂️
